Verlicchi was virtually the industry standard for high-quality chassis in the off-road world of the 70s and 80s. Almost every European manufacturer that considered itself important and did not have its own huge welding shop had its products manufactured by the specialists in Bologna.

Here is a list of well-known off-road manufacturers and models that have been proven to use Verlicchi frames:

1. Fantic Motor

Fantic was one of Verlicchi's closest partners. The extremely successful trial and enduro models owed their maneuverability to the lightweight tubular frames from Bologna.

2. SWM

SWM relied almost exclusively on Verlicchi for its off-road sports machines (GS) and trial models. The striking red frames of the 1970s are particularly legendary.

3. Aprilia

Before Aprilia became a global corporation, it started out as a small manufacturer of off-road machines. Verlicchi provided the basis for its early success.

8. Husqvarna (Cagiva era)

After Cagiva took over Husqvarna (late 1980s), production moved to Italy. During this period, many frame designs were commissioned from Verlicchi.
